Our condolences to the family of our dear friend Dennis. We so enjoyed working with him at our business ‘The Winery’ in Coombs on Vancouver Island. We will continue walking the local Parkinson’s yearly walk in his memory. He was a wonderful man and we are glad to have known him.

So sorry to hear of Dennis's passing. I worked with Dennis for many years as as school board trustee and later as a teacher. I highly respected Dennis for his leadership skills and also for his common sense approach to all Things needing attention. I am just sorry that they moved, we could have had more time together. My wife Diane Zeke was a student in your mother's class. Please accept our condolences. Murray and Diane Martin, Neepawa Manitoba - Posted by: Murray Martin (Friend) on: Apr 28, 2020

I have very fond memories of Dennis and his family. Our families lived about 1 1/2 miles apart in the Roskeen School district..Roskeen School of course does not exist anymore, just in our memories. I had the pleasure to have Dennis as a student (grade 5 or 6) in that rural one room School. I am very sad to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family. You will miss him greatly cherish your memories. Genevieve Majcher - Posted by: Genevieve Majcher (Grudeski) (Was a neighbor and his grade 5 teacher at Roskeen School in 1952) on: Apr 26, 2020
